Hope in Jesus
There is hope...
We live in a world that offers no hope. The older we get the more we realize that, just as Solomon wrote in the book of Ecclesiastes, all is vanity. We strive after the material things of this world only to find that they fade away. We strive after personal relationships and find that they disappoint. If we can't find our hope in the world, where do we look?
The Bible says in 1 Peter 1:3-5, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
There is hope in Jesus Christ! But this hope is only available to those who have placed their faith and trust in Him for the forgiveness of their sin. In other words, admit to God that you are a sinner, receive Jesus' payment for your sin on the cross, believe in His resurrection from the dead, and you will be saved. Then go and tell others about the wonderful hope you have found in Christ.
If you would like to know more about this hope we have in Jesus Christ, listen to the sermon download entitled "Our Hope" from one of our Easter sunrise services. Then contact us here at the church and we will be glad to discuss what you have read and heard here.
Yours in Christ,
